(A letter for Dragon Age: Black Emporium (2025) Exchange)

Hello, Dear Creator!

I'm so glad we were matched! Below you'll find information about my likes and dislikes, as well as some prompts for each requested relationship, in case you need some inspiration. I hope you'll find the letter helpful!

My general likes and dislikes:

LIKES: fluff, hurt/comfort, humour, action/adventure, friendships, found families, fics about asexuality/asexual characters, AUs (especially library/bookshop!AU, flower shop!AU, werewolf!AU, space!AU) and happy endings.

DO NOT WANTS: Rape/non-con, queerphobia, genderbend, slavery/slavery au, A/B/O, pregnancies/kid!fic, character/ship bashing, incest, underage, abusive relationships presented as romantic, infidelity, harming/death of animals (including hunting etc.), heavy angst without happy ending, graphic torture, unrequited love/Hanahaki Disease, de-aging/ageplay, historical AUs, soulmate!AU, major character death/death!fic, break up!fic, amnesia!fic, mentioning pairings not listed, 1st/2nd person POV, any variation of the word "come" spelled as "cum", word "panties".
Please, no background ships.

DRAGON AGE specific DO NOT WANTS: Cullen Rutherford and Cullen ships appearing, siding with templars/templar apologists, Chantry-positivity/Chantry apologists, Solas/Inquisitor, Alistair/Warden, female!Hawke, Fenris/Isabela, Carver/Merrill, straight!Dorian, bisexual!Dorian, straight!Sera, bisexual!Sera, Anders bashing, Fenris bashing, Bull’s Chargers being dead.

I have no preference for the Warden's/Inquistor's/Rook's origin or class, if you choose to include them in the fic (unless otherwise specified), but for Hawke, I prefer m!Hawke, please. I prefer default names for the Warden and the Inquisitor. As for Hawke, I have preference for Garrett Hawke specifically.

Summary:

Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma were inseparable as children since he’d defended her from an irate tutor. Once she thought there was something more growing between them until grief and the divergent demands of their positions drew them apart.

To Kate, the warm, close knit Bridgerton family lead a charmed life and spending Christmas with them is both an honour and a relief from the challenges her own little family face.

But when she comes face-to-face with Anthony again, she hardly recognises him in the cold, aloof man he's become. Worse, he seems to see her as a spinster maid, below his notice, and an outsider
